Playoff Scenario Guide

There are three critical games today that determine the NFC playoff seedings. A breakdown of those games results can be found here. The short version is that the Vikings need to beat the Giants and then root for (gulp) the Cowboys to beat the Eagles in the late game. That would give them the 2 seed and a bye week.
All six NFC playoff teams are already decided but their placement for the playoffs is very up in the air. The Saints have the 1 seed and absolutely no one else is decided. The Vikings could be anywhere from 2-4. Four different teams could have the 2 seed by the end of the day. Six of the eight possible results have the Packers playing the Cardinals again next week but there is a chance that they'd be here at the Dome. Should make for an interesting day.

Interesting that three of the four games from yesterday are being replayed, exactly, again this weekend. I don't remember any year like this.

Me either. And all three of those games were blowouts. But I'm not sure who should be favored in any of them. Very strange.
